Visualize Your Music With Spotify Canvas
If you haven't already jumped onto the Canvas bandwagon, here's why you absolutely should: how does a 145% boost in track shares sound? Or perhaps a 20% hike in playlist additions? And for those of you who've dabbled in it but are struggling with sourcing high-quality, cost-effective videos, Videobolt's motion graphic templates are the game-changer you've been waiting for.
What is Spotify Canvas?
Imagine a dynamic album cover that doesn't just sit there but captivates and tells a compelling story — all in a quick span of 3-8 seconds. Sounds enticing, right? That's exactly what Spotify Canvas offers, a feature that, as Spotify claims, can completely transform how your audience engages with your music.
But before you dive into the creative deep end, it's essential to consider some best practices. These aren't stifling rules but thoughtful guidelines aimed to elevate your Canvas. Your visual should be set in a vertical 9:16 ratio and formatted as an MP4 with a minimum height of 720 pixels. The good news? Videobolt offers a plethora of templates that already meet these requirements, making it easier than ever to create an engaging and platform-compliant Canvas.
